RecoveryFest is about celebrating the positive impact of recovery. Recovery is a journey. It doesn't matter if you started on your recovery journey one hour ago, or twenty years ago. We may not have met yet, but we're on the same journey. It's about pursuing a healthy lifestyle and making better choices. Recovery isn't an easy journey and one of the keys to success is not trying to make the journey on our own. We each need loving, supportive people in our lives to encourage us and walk with us. We need each other. And when we move forward and make the right choice, we need to celebrate our success! That's what RecoveryFest is all about. It's an opportunity for us as a community to come together, encourage one another and celebrate our journey. We may not have had the opportunity to meet yet, but that's OK, we're looking forward to meeting you at RecoveryFest!
“RecoveryFest is an awesome event.
It is a celebration of life, love & family.”
Coach Steve Moreland,
Director of Camps & Clinics for the Detroit Pistons
